i MS OF THE CITY. Little Paragraphs and Big Paragraphs Penciled and Published for the People's Perusal. The Doings of the Busiest City In the Rogue River Valley All the News Once a Week. During the life of the Y. M. C. A. in Med ford there has not been hold a more interest session than the one of last Sunday. There were about one hundred and fifty people present and each was glad to be one of thai, num ber. The exercises were lead by W. J . Bennet with W. H. Turner, vice president, in charge of affairs. After the usual devotional exercises, con ducted by Rev. J. L. Jones, the choir rendered three or four very fine selec tions, chosen by Wei. Gore. H. L. Miser followed with a talk, quite at length, upon the subject of "Good Citizenship." His arguments were well directed, possessed of merit and were received with much appreciation by the audience. He dwelled upon the thought that christian peoole should carry their religion, not only to church with them on the Sabbath day, but should take it with them into their nnlinVs. their business, and into their every transaction of every day lif. -in fact, be a eeven-day-in-the-week christian, and carry their badge where all may see it. Following this came sacred music by the Gore Bros, quar tette. J. R- Erford then gave the audience a very pleasant ten minutes' talk, all of which met a deserved ap proval. The Gore Bros, closed the exercises with a a saered negro melody that drew any amount of admiration it was simply excellent. When looking for a spring and , summer hat or bonnet don't forget to call on Mrs. C. W. Palm, headquarters for fashionable millinery, where you will always find a large and complete assortment of trimxed goods at from 25 to 50 per cent less than any other place in the valley. The spring meeting of the Presby tery of Southern Oregon met in Med ford Tuesday, and was still in session last evening, thus preventing The Mail, from giving a detailed report of the meetings this week. At Wednes day meeting Rev. A. S. Foster, of this city, and Elder Mathews, of Phoe nix, were chosen as delegates to the general assembly which meets in Pittsburg, Pa., in" May. Rev. Mosser, of Oakland, was elected moderator. Although there are only about half of the representatives in this district present, the meetings are full of inter est and all eXDress themselves as well pleased with their visit to our city. Rev Father Williams, who resides about two miles south of Medford, and who is one of the oldest Presbyter! in ministers in the state, was reported ill, and unable to be in attendance, and Wednesday afternoon the delegates drove out to his farm residence in a body to pay the reverend gentleman a friendly visit. Parties who contemplate making final proof on their land will find it to their advantage to call at The Mail office before making application to the land office. Application papers will be made out and all correspondence with the land offi:e conducted free of charge. Everybody has an alfired good time that enjoys "the hospitality of the pleasant farm home of M. Bellinger, and 'twas iust such a happy fate that fell to the lot of those surprise people who assembled there, on Wednesday evening of this week, to sive a littie surprise party to Frank Bellinger. The evening was a happy one from start to finish, and the program was made up with lots of games, lots of talk, lots of music and a whole heap of an excellent supper. Here is the crowd that was present: Misses Dora Kuowles, Eva ' . Soliss. Lillian Dodge. Lula Bellinger, Myrtle Woodford. Mamie Nicholson, T- Millie Soliss. Minnie and Bertha ' McPherson. Kate and Mangle Bellin ger, Miss McDonald and Miss Maggie Rawlings; Messrs. Ora Smith. Ulysses , Damon, Loren Damon, Frank True, Chas. Lofland, Grant Rawlings, Austin 'Holt, Clem.

The Junior Endeavor ot the "Christian church has been very re markably blessed during the winters revivals. Nine of the members, out of ' an enrollment of thirty, have been converted. Three taking membership with the Baptist, one with the Presby terian, and five with the Christian V church. Mrs. Eli Fisher is the super intendent of this society. Last Sunday 'evening the Junior gave an open meet - ' ing at the regular lime of the Christian S Endeavor meeting, 6:30 p. m. There 'i' was a lair audience present. The v special subject was "The Risen Lord." ' The little folks from their president down, did splendid. Miss Pearl Webb 1 presiding with as much dig::ity and grace as though a woman of mature years.

A few weeks later John turned in and drew a gold watch that was put up by Bates Bros., and now Mrs. itedfield comes to the front and takes " away that very fine silver set which ' has been offered by C. S. Smith, the candy man. What is the wonder to us is that John let Bert Whitman off with that shotgun a few weeks ago. If John was to take a chance in a brick yard he would probably draw Hotel Nash. - Lost Between Sam'l Van Dyke's place and Phoenix, on Saturday, March ;S0th, a forty foot rawhide lariat.

Grants Pass has a lady bicyclist who appeared on the street recently equip ped for a spin on her wheel and in bloomers, and the Courier marvels at her nerve, but adds that "it is n sen sible move and the Bloomer suit is liable to become popular" in that city. Hear Brother Nunau get .after the ladies wheu he says: "Any move that will tend to free the American woman from the slavery of long skirts and iron-bound corsets will result in a ben efit to the human race." The Mail would like to ask Bro. Nunan why he spelled that word "bloomer"' with a cap"B"y Is it intended as a thrust at our once popular young man by the same name? he who made himself popular with about $S0OO of the coun ty's money, and whose bondsmen are not so popular, because they have failed to make good their friend's shortage. Our patrons will find De Witt's Little Early Risers a safe and reliable remedy for constipation, dyspepsia and liver complaints. Geo. H. Haskins, druggist. A new law firm has been formed in Medford and will do business under the style of White & JetTery, and made up of ti.U. White and .1. A. .lellery. Mr. White is an attorney with years of experience and practice to his credit ! as well as ability plenty. Mr. Jeffrey's is a member of tlie Oregon legislature and in consequence carries "Hon . " at the front of his John A. He is the populist orator of the county and is said to be a very clever manipulator of the queen's English. Ho has recently been admitted to the bar and has been a very close student, and is well up in the intricacies peculiar to Black stone, the god of law. The politics of the firm don't run in the same channel, but the partnership was made on law and not politics. Their professional card will be found on first page of to day's Mail. Townsend, the barber, is the man you are look i...T for if you want first class work, i'ront street, south of Hotel Medford. C. O. Damon came up from Grants Pass Sunday morning and remained until evening, when he took the north bound passenger train for IJoseburg. From there he will go to Eugene and perhaps further down the valley, his object being to secure, if ossible, the reutal and management of a number of opera houses in the Willamette valley, also at Roseburg and Grants Puss. He has already rented the Grants Puss house. If enough houses are secured he will take a companv when thev ! leave Portland and show them, on a percentage, at ail the iniiorlanl cities from Portland to Ashl.md and handle nothing but good shows. He will have a local manager in each place. U. M. Damon will manage the Medford house. Have you seen the "Izzer?" It is a new Studebaker buggy. For sale by J. A. Whitman, Medford, Oregon. Miss Tolroan. of Ashland, is an artist of much ability, and as an in structer she is without an equal in Southern Oregon, as is proven by the excellent work her pupils are exe cuting in Medford. The lady has a large class in this city and with scarce ly an exception tine work is being pro duced. We have seeo some of the work of Miss Ella Hanley and Mrs. H. G. Nicholson, two members of the class, and if others have attained the profi ciency of these two ladies there ought to be little regret expressed because of want of clever execution and proper conception of ideal art. We under stand Miss Cox, of Central Point, is making up a class for Mis Tolman to handle at that place. New York clothing arrived yes terday. Positively the be-t values ever broujrht to the valley.

There are many business enter prises in Medford that demand the attention of all our people, by way of patronage, but there has recently been one added to the lisj, that ought to receive every nickel which it is pos sible for us to bestow and it is that of the Excelsior Steam Dye Works, re cently established by C. C. Hixon. There is scarcely ever a time but that all of us have some garment that would be improved by passing through a dyer's hands. Mr Hixon is a very fine gentleman, a workman of ability and as he has purchased property here there is little chance for him leaving his patrons in the lurch as others have done.

There is some little talk of the Masons of Medford erecting a three story brick, block. The proposition is as yet only a matter of talk but that something jiermanent may develop is not by any means beyond the reach of possibility, 't is recommended that steps be taken with the view of orga nizing a stock company with shares placed at $"' each, to he sold, not alone to Masons, but to any person who may have the price of one or several shares which they wish to safely invest, and where a revenue cannot fail to bo realized.
